I don't know how or why. This may convince you:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]: ~/build > strings /usr/share/file/magic|head

# Magic
# Magic data for file(1) command.
# Machine-generated from src/cmd/file/magdir/*; edit there only!
# Format is described in magic(files), where:
# files is 5 on V7 and BSD, 4 on SV, and ?? in the SVID.

Notice the "edit there only" part. This tells me that it is a
static file once installed.
